what are we fighting for?

BRIGHTMOOR JOURNAL

TWO of the issues I really care about are the size of congress and the manner we vote, the brevity of it.

The Constitution states a house member would represent no fewer than 30,000 people. A 1920's federal law fixes the size of the house to not outgrow the Capitol Building. When billions are spent to build ballparks and hockey rinks inPhoenix; I think we ought to house a representative body the framers devised. The elections would be harder to control and congress might get less pork barrel accomplished but that's a good thing.

We need a three day weekend to vote.
